In turn, the organizations must distribute the blankets to people who are homeless within seven days. If you know someone who is in need of a blanket, contact one of the following organizations:

This effort is being led by the Division of State Service Centers (DSSC), with funds provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
